Hello, As you're speaking about architecture with several Apache and Tomcat instances, do you know whether a central manager exists to administrate (deploy, start, stop, Web plug-in update, ...) Web applications at first on a single node of the architecture, and then to propagate the changes to every cluster members? This tool would be accessible with a Web browser.
Thank you.

I am not trying to solve a problem but rather open a discussion with the community on how people prefer to structure their systems. Some run only Tomcat, some run multiple servers with Apache and Tomcat, some tier the Apache and Tomcat services. I was trying to open a discussion as to what people do and why. My approach is usually to run Apache and Tomcat in separate tiers as I feel the ~50-100ms delay introduced by doing so is negligible to the security gains. I also feel that aspects of data management etc are easier and more secure under this approach. I use the Apache layer to handle SSL termination, compression, URL rewriting and caching leaving the application and Tomcat clean to perform the business logic. This is just my opinion though. However, I don't believe that there is any one right or wrong solution, just thought an open discussion on what people do an why might be useful for those thinking about how they are going to design their own deployment. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
